Hi,
I have a sharepoint site which makes use of several dataview web parts
created in FrontPage 2003.
The datasource for all of these dateviews are web services. When these are
created in FrontPage it creates a DataQuery section in the stylesheet which
tells it the details of the web service to call to get the data.
The problem with this is that the url for the web service is hardcoded. When
I come to deploy this the chances are that the web services will be hosted in
some other place. As such a need a way to mark the web service url with a
parameter and look up that parameter (from somewhere or other - any ideas?)
at runtime.
Alternatively I need a way to easily update the pages post-deployment to
reflect the web service url. By "easily", I mean that it needs to be
something that I can automate - I don't want to be opening the site (after
deployment) in FrontPage and manually changing all the references to the web
service url.
It seems like this must be a pretty widespread requirement so I hope someone
can help.
Thanks in advance.
Julian.
